Nice Job Topbucks

Just saw this posted in the TB's webmaster area:


"November 29, 2004-New Terms

Due to an increasing number of complaints from customers resulting from adware type products installed on their pc?s & the increasing hazards caused by adware and spyware, TopBucks has updated our terms prohibiting marketing of any of our websites through spyware, adware, or malware. This policy is effective immediately and any accounts found violating these terms may be terminated. "

If this was posted before forgive me.. no need to post the timeline pic or anything..

I hope more programs take measures like these.. get rid of the spyware scum by cutting out their income streams

Great job on their part. This is one area that mainstream affiliate marketing is way ahead of adult is, and that is taking a strong stand against parasiteware.

Yes I would like to see this become common policy.

This industry doesn't need to be associated with such ill buisness pratice..

There is enough people making adult look bad as is

This is the first time I have seen it in black and white..

I am sure some programs have similar polices regarding scum ware

I see more and more adult sites mostly CJs spreading spyware.

I imagine that promting Topbucks with hijacked traffic be it spyware redirection or spyware induced popups is now covered.

This way it covers all bases.. I guess..

Regardless, nice to see it in black and white
